Mourinho: Praise of Conte's Chelsea shows double standards

The Portuguese has claimed he received criticism for employing largely the same style of play as the Italian during his time at Stamford Bridge

Jose Mourinho has accused the media of double standards and its praise for Antonio Conte's Chelsea team compared to his own.

The Manchester United manager claims the style of play he employed at Stamford Bridge was criticised despite being similar to that which has been employed by Conte with the Blues this season.

Mourinho did admit, however, that the 18 points that separate the Red Devils and his former club was evidence of the large gulf that currently exists between the two sides.
